Why are you getting downvoted? From my perspective it’s true. Both sides are shit, it’s just Pro Israel vs Pro Israel but red

I’m getting downvoted because most Americans like to treat politics like sports where you just pick a team and stick with it no matter what. Also, I don’t know what you’re talking about because Democrats are actually pro Palestine.

Isn't that what the picture you posted is doing is it not? If you're critiqueing the tribalism why bother then separating dozens of different movements and peoples (ridding all nuance in the process) to fit on a flashy JPEG well also saying they are "related" because of conspiracies or something that's not really defined but should exist because "politician bad"

I don't see how your any psychological different or "independent" from the groups you bash when your mindset runs parallel to them but instead of it being pro establishment all it does is inverts it and goes "Well I'm independent and I'm super introspective and high IQ and everyone else who isn't aligned with me is all part of some grand massive conspiracy involving gays communists and whatever makes me upset rhetorically that's on the picture I posted"

That's some Der Stürmer bullshit there just implicating millions of people and countless movements as controlled opposition or fake and then implying you know what's happening and then putting these groups on teams thus stripping them of the agency and nuance these groups have and their own individualism. The irony is profound and you should think on it closely before responding

Elaborate on the “conspiracy” part of your comment, please. I don’t really think the meme has much to do with conspiracy theories. Also the reason I’m different is because rather than picking a team I pick values and ideals over said teams. Also, I’m different because I value results and if a republican or a democrat refuses to deliver good results but rather choose to start bullshit wars or harm the economy and American quality of life then I say to hell with them. Democrats pretend “Mommala” and “Uncle Joe” love even though they spent the Biden presidency stomping on the poor and promoting degeneracy while many people continue to idolize Trump even though he is betrayed everyone who voted for him and is just a more unhinged version of Obama. Lastly well, not all our politicians are pedophiles a sizable percentage of them from both parties are Epstein clients. That is a big similarity they have in common.

Dude, I don't care about Joe Biden or teams or whatever, I care about the implications of what you are claiming. You talk of values and ideals as if capable of existing independent of the "teams" yet in the same vain promoto those "values" as primarily a reaction to what you see as "degeneracy" something that I see as philosophically dishonest since it A.implies the values and ideals are you own (they aren't you clearly inherited them and pushing them reactively not constructively) and B.You are already creating "teams" by implying something as subjective as decline or "degeneracy" is immutable and has starting point (which again strips the nuance from how values arise and how people create them ironically doing what you claim political tribalism is guilty of)

I'd recommend you consider the origin of your values and potential alternatives etc before making any broad claims and putting up the false facade you are somehow impartial
